This months faces

You'll be pleased to know I am back at work again, and working very hard.. though I have to say, I am branching out more into my hobby of painting doll faces. Basically buying my own dolls to paint was too costly, so it's better other people send me thiers to play with, and then I can use the proceeds too.. buy more dolls ;). Here are a few of the most recent face ups I've done for some lovely people.

I've always enjoyed highlydetailed painting,though I don't really want to do photorealism in my own work. In fact, as a painter who tends towards too much detail I find the graphic nature of screenprinting liberating...... so long as my psychological need for tiny brush strokes is satisfied by really small brushstrokes.

If you have a resin, abs or vinyl doll that you think I could paint, you cann contact me here, through facebook or my shop, If you are a regular reader thats freaked out y dolls... sorry bout that. Try and keep the unsavory comments to a minimum though.

I am a shirker of blogging

But I am wild!

here's a little crow and hare sketch I did today for my graphic folk tale.

The hare that flew

Once there was a hare that died of a broken heart pining for a crow that lived on top of the hangmans tree whom she believed was her long lost twin brother so they buried her deep deep underground where tiny spiders sewed her heart with black thread and the hare stayed there till the spring when she burst out of the ground with such a violence that she took off and landed in the sky with the crow, where they lived together as stars for all eternity.

The end.

seven fish in the ocean!

there is a sale in my main shop so there will be a post about that! I'll try and be a good blogger now I have a kindlefire!

This isn't illustration Friday

Once again, dear friends, I find I have horribly neglected my blog. I though perhaps buying my phone (yes, my phone, I avoid the big complicator.. computer.. as much as possible) a keyboard and new blogging platform would helpl somewhat but post remained thin on the ground. I didn't even do illostration friday last week, and the theme was trees, and that is super easy.

No, and the reason is this:




I've been painting dolls again. Some of you might know that I paint dolls for a hobby (a bit like gustav klimt who painted landscapes in his free time... ) but I've never really mentioned it here on this blog before. I'm really touched at how nice my friends and internet comrades have been about this faintly bizarre pass time, and the resulting pictures of disembodied heads. Some of them even have dolls of their own now.

Well, anyway, these dolls are not cheap, and I have a few and thats enough. Basically, I've run out of dolls to paint. So i've gone pro. If you have a BJD and you'd like me to paint it, you can purchase my services here:
`face up services
This is an introductory price while I build my portfolio as I haven't painted many boys. I'll either put my prices, or get bored and stop.

I call these guys skullfacers. I actually really like them. I stopped showing my non print art because I got sick of the comments but now I have a store just for my drawings. Anyway, they live underground clad in rainbow robes awaiting rebirth. My drawings are for sale here.
